http://www.milliondollarpartnering.com/why-you-really-need-a-business-mentor/#commentsTue, 31 Oct 2017 15:22:13 +0000http://www.milliondollarpartnering.com/?p=689In today’s highly competitive business arena having a Mentor to guide you to success is crucial. The Oxford English Dictionary defines a Mentor as “An experienced and trusted adviser”.

To be successful mentoring must be a two-way street. Whilst it is very much a self directed learning and a flexible arrangement, where the mentee is responsible for driving the agenda and setting the topics of conversation, it is essential that both parties give 110% to the relationship.

As an entrepreneur, it’s exciting to go it alone and create something on your own. However, the reality is that, while you have a great idea or even business, you may not know exactly what you should be doing with your business at which times to develop it into a million dollar or even multi-million dollar business.

Becoming a business success is an incredibly complex process, and the core competency you need to manifest in the business world may be the least of your worries. A mentor who has been down the road you want to travel can help you find the right path. A mentor is someone who allows you to see the hope inside yourself. They are there no matter what and offer moral support and their high-level contacts.

For example, in 2004 I had the privilege of being mentored by Jay Abraham (marketing genius and highest paid marketing consultant in the world) this was THE turning point of my business life which eventually led me to become the World’s Top Joint Venture Expert. Then in 2010 I was invited to the US to speak on the topic of joint ventures and met my next 3 mentors who were all multi-millionaires which eventually led me to become one myself.

If you want to become successful in business, in an industry or even become a Billionaire who better to learn from than a mentor!

After selling my business recently for 8 Figures (assisted by another well-known mentor T.Harv Eker) I now personally do quite a bit of work in the high-level mentoring field – I am a business mentor and I still have a few mentors of which one is a real Billionaire.

http://www.milliondollarpartnering.com/how-to-leverage-your-existing-clients-using-joint-venture-partnerships/#commentsFri, 29 Sep 2017 16:11:08 +0000http://www.milliondollarpartnering.com/?p=682What if there was a way fro you to not only help your current clients make money quickly in the current economy but also for you to profit from it without any work on your part?

You see ALL your clients have under-utilized resources that can be leveraged. ftese resources could include employees, inventory, office space, advertising space, expertise, money, distribution, databases, customers… the list goes on and on.

As a joint venture broker you need to understand your client’s business (which you do) and the business owner’s real needs (which you already know).

Once you know what they really want, what their customer acquisition costs are and you have a good idea of the potential lifetime value of each of their customers, you are in a very good position to put together deals between your existing clients.

And of course, you just take a cut of the resulting business—EASY! Most clients have a problem with sales and marketing. The good news is that joint ventures, set up properly, will solve their problem. Once you learn how to do joint venture deals you can give them exactly what they want without risking any of your own time, money or resources.

Let me give you a quick example to show you how you can set up and use joint venture deals between your existing clients:

Let’s say you have a client named Bob who is a personal trainer and, as his business relies on new customers, he is struggling to make ends meet.

You decide to help Bob to do something about his lack of clients using your deal making skills. You contact another one of your clients named Bill, who owns a supplement store, and ask Bill if he could refer his customers to Bob and Bob will do likewise with his clients.

Often, all you have to do is help them with their marketing strategy to increase the response/sales and take a cut of the resulting sales as a joint venture broker fee, while they do ALL the work.

Once you have done one project, for how many of your clients can you actually broker deals, taking a cut of the results?

So you see, whether you are a VA, coach, marketing consultant, insurance salesman, commercial real estate broker, business-to-business broker, etc you can make much MORE money setting up joint venture deals between your existing clients!

Of course, there is a lot more to joint ventures than what I’ve shared here. You have to protect yourself with proper agreements, making sure you follow a ‘proven’ system so that everyone in every deal clearly understands what is expected so there is no confusion down the road.

http://www.milliondollarpartnering.com/joint-venture-partnering-was-the-key-to-my-8-figure-exit/#commentsTue, 08 Aug 2017 14:51:10 +0000http://www.milliondollarpartnering.com/?p=649If youve ever thought of building a business to eventually sell, or even have a business that has enough value to be acquired then you may want to consider Joint Venture Partnering with larger companies (or even competitors) that may be the perfect candidate to offer to buy you out one day…

Let me explain…

In 2006 I partnered with a $160M IT Group to provide 500,000 of their B2C computer hardware customers with our online computer training software (my first company) which eventually turned into an offer to buy us out and integrate us into the large group as our collaboration proved very profitable.

I then repeated this formula in 2016 when I collaborated with a top Corporate sales management company to provide their team with some specialized consulting and training on Joint Venture Partnerships which proved so successful that it again turned into an 8 figure offer in 2017 for my business and IP.

So how do Joint Venture Partnerships actually work?

Joint ventures involve recognising the myriad opportunities out there and leveraging every one of them through partnering. You must seize the important opportunities, be aware of the smaller ones or overlook any minor problems. You’ve got to go all out; this is one of the fundamentals of successful joint ventures and deal making.

A joint venture (also known as a JV or strategic alliance) is an arrangement that will be of mutual benefit between two (or more) people, businesses or companies who have complementary resources or assets that can be leveraged.

What do I mean by resources or assets? I mean products, services, machinery, equipment, buildings, unused capacity and a customer list (or mailing list) that can be leveraged by the owner or whoever approaches the owner with a joint venture proposal.

Joint ventures are known under many names. Some refer to them as “tie-ins”, “collaborative marketing”, “strategic alliances”, “endorsement marketing”, “hidden asset marketing”, “reciprocal marketing” or, as Jay Conrad Levinson calls them, “fusion marketing”. Regardless, all these terms essentially refer to the same thing and, if you just look around, you’ll see many examples there in the world. For example, when you see a commercial for McDonald’s you almost see a pitch for Coca-Cola.

The idea of the joint venture is as simple as: Business A agrees to include Business B’s brochure or an endorsed letter in their next mailing, either for a fee, a percentage, or if Business B agrees to do the same for them. The result is instant access to a whole new influx of customers without having to spend any money on advertising or market research to find them.

A joint venture is a win-win situation because everybody gains and nobody loses. Joint ventures cut through the top heavy expense of finding large numbers of customers from scratch. You don’t need to do any market research. You don’t need to buy a lot of expensive advertising. You don’t need to weed out unqualified clients. Joint ventures drive right to the customer in one swoop. With a joint venture, you make someone else’s already captured customers your client’s customers. You capitalize instantly on the other’s guy’s resources, and he’s glad to let you do it because he will capitalize on yours.

Joint ventures are a very powerful but underutilized guerrilla marketing strategy. Yet, according to another legendary marketing guru (and mentor to a few of the joint venture business experts in the world today, including myself), Jay Abraham, less than 5% of all business owners use joint ventures properly and most don’t know how to use them at all. Joint ventures are successful because of the old business rule that says: “People like to buy from someone they know and trust”.

The best and most well-known example of a joint venture is when one company endorses (recommends) someone else’s product or services to their customer list with whom they have a relationship and both share the additional profits. This is a win/win arrangement!

For those of you who do not know what a customer list is – it is a list of addresses and/or phone numbers/email addresses that a business owns of all the people who have previously bought from them.You have probably already been asked your name, address and/or phone number while purchasing something in a store, or your email when surfing the internet.

The owners can then communicate with you to try to sell you other things.Smart business owners regularly send helpful information to their customer lists, thus building a relationship with them. And when they have a good relationship, it’s a lot easier to get them to buy more. The relationship between a business owner and his/her customers is the most valuable asset that a business has, the value of which isn’t measured in dollars. However, if you know how to leverage it, it’s as good as gold. In fact, when a business is sold, this asset is valued on the balance sheet.

You may not have realized it, but it can cost SIX TIMES AS MUCH to sell to a new buyer than to resell an existing buyer. And, it costs less and less every single time a client buys from the same business again. Eventually, when they buy from the same business enough, all of the money earned is practically pure profit.

On the flip side, using other people’s mailing lists allows you to use their assets without paying for them. This way your acquisition cost is ZERO. More of the profit is yours because you don’t have to pay for advertising expenses to earn them. This is the true power of Joint Ventures – leveraging other people’s resources and assets or even your own for a minimal or sometimes even zero marketing investment upfront.

How To Avoid Bad Joint Venture Partnerships

Not everybody has a good experience with joint venture partnering, so here are a few pointers to help you avoid bad joint venture partnerships:
1. Have your partners sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (or Intellectual Property Rights Agreement) and have those agreements in your possession before telling your partners everything. Whether you have them sign something or not beforehand depends on the deal and the people you’re working with. If you don’t have a non-disclosure agreement, have your lawyer write one for you. Just be sure to explain in-depth what you need it for so he can draft a good one for you. If you can’t afford to hire a lawyer, do a search for “free non-disclosure agreements” on Google. Save a few and then simply tweak them to include everything you need.
2. Have them sign an Agreement (Contract).
3. Put in your agreement that you have the right to inspect their shipping records, telephone records, etc to see if there is a discrepancy between the two. For example, if they got many clients calling to place orders, and they shipped considerably fewer orders, something may be going on.
4. Never deal with people who seem to be dishonest. Always listen to your intuition (the little inner-voice or feeling you have) when you’re in contact with them. If you have a funny feeling about them, even if it’s tiny, forget about it.
5. Screen your partners beforehand. If your partner lives in the US, go to www.merlindata.com and if they live in the UK go to www.creditgate.com; this is a service used by private investigators. You can do background checks on all your potential associates before dealing with them. Ask other people in your field if they know them and what they think of them.
6. Work with people who have good track records, who are known for their honesty and who have a lot of good testimonials.
7. If you JV online, there is tracking software available and other services that will track all the sales and you’ll know exactly how many items were sold and what is owed to you.
8. If you’re doing JVs offline and you meet your partner in person, you can bring a witness with you to the signing of the Agreement.
9. Offer to pay for everything, the mailing of the letter and all the other real and provable hard costs, then take those costs out of the gross and divide the rest of the profits.
10. Go on their website and check for the following things: see if they include their real names, phone number, mail address, and other contact information. See if they have a privacy policy and a seal from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) or other such quality monitoring programs. Look them up after that to be sure that they really are part of that program because some people may just take a seal and put it on their site. Go on www.bbb.org and do a search on their business. If they really are a member of that organization, it’s a good sign. Go on Network Solutions at www.networksolutions.com/cgibin/whois/whois and write their domain name in the search box to get their contact info.
11. If you’re the endorser, you may be able to take the orders yourself in order to: A. Either calculate how many you have received and thus how much is owed to you before sending them (fax or e-mail or whatever ASAP) to the endorser so he can fulfil them or, B. Take the orders, get the money, send the orders ASAP to the endorsee, then pay the endorsee and the broker (if there is one).
12. If you are the endorser, set the deal up so you can offer a special bonus product/service to every paying customer. Every time one of them buys something, they have to come see you to get the bonus and that is how you can keep track of the number of sales.
13. Use a respected third party affiliate tracking service like ClickBank, or any other service that has a good track record. ClickBank will track your sales and then pay you and your affiliates (JV partners) like clockwork.
14. Do a search on their name with Google. Doing this may bring up some interesting information and I’m not only talking about clues about the person’s background or work ethics. For example, I just recently researched a marketer I wanted to send a proposal to and you know what? I learned that he only considers JV proposals from people that take the time to call him. If I had contacted him by any other means, I would not have been able to get his attention. Everybody has their rules, and if you don’t take the time to find out what they are, chances are you will get it ass-backwards and they won’t want to play ball. Do you know what one of my rules is? NEVER call me if we don’t know each other; that is NOT the way to approach me.
15. Only work with warm prospects. Cold prospects are not only hard to convince to JV with you, they are also riskier partners, as they may not think twice before taking you for a ride. Your main focus should be to build relationships with people, and then make them your offer. It takes longer, but is definitely worth it if you are really afraid of being ripped off. What I said previously about avoiding getting ripped off by list brokers also applies here. If your cold prospect is a friend of one of your contacts, have your contact introduce you directly, or just mention that your friend referred you to your prospect. If the prospect values the relationship they have with your friend, they will be especially careful. In other words, you’ll probably be in good hands. If you find someone who has a great reputation, they will probably be a good partner, even if they are a cold prospect. If they make it a point to over deliver, and have been known to bend over backwards to make people happy then, in my opinion, they are almost as good as a warm prospect.
16. Take things slowly with your partners at first and drop the deal as soon as you discover that they aren’t as trustworthy as you thought.
17. Talk about getting out before you get in. Everyone needs to have a clear exit strategy before partnering with others. This won’t prevent you from getting ripped off, but it will help in somewhat minimizing the damage. You want to be able to get out with only a few scratches, not after several big hits that could knock you out and ruin you financially.
18. Don’t commit to anything long-term with cold prospects. Let them know that you are ready to leave the deal at any time; you want them to be careful with what they do, and you also want them to understand if you want out. Ideally, if you are dealing with a new partner, avoid JVs that you can’t easily get out of – even if you do have an exit strategy.
19. Set up an escrow account with a bank. You then instruct the bank to transfer X% of the profits into your special account.
20. Try to find someone who can recommend a good list broker to you. Tell them you want to work with someone that they often deal with (and that they have a good relationship with). Then, when you contact the broker, you explain that their good client referred you to them. Remember that they don’t know how close you are with their client (your friend) so they’ll most likely think twice before ripping you off.

I hope that helps you reach your goal of creating the ultimate win/win business partnership and leveraging that relationship to an eventual exit strategy!

http://www.milliondollarpartnering.com/the-3-million-dollar-multipliers-for-any-business/#commentsThu, 22 Jun 2017 16:57:42 +0000http://www.milliondollarpartnering.com/?p=597I just returned from Vegas to host my first ever 2 day ‘JV Consulting’ bootcamp and while I was in Vegas I had a client fly in from Canada for a 1 day VIP session to help him identify what I call the ‘MISSING MILLIONS BLUEPRINT’ in his business…

Now, we spent the whole day going though Joint Venture strategies and tactics including just 3 aspects of what I call my new ‘Million Dollar Multipliers’ and applied it to his business so he could easily DOUBLE what he was doing with his team and take the business to $5M within the next 12 months.

I even GUARANTEED that if he failed to double his business within the next 12 months by applying my 3 ‘Million Dollar Multipliers’ I would give him back his investment he made in spending the day with me as a VIP client!

Today I’m going to REVEAL what the 3 ‘ Million Dollar Multipliers’ are below:

Million Dollar Multiplier 1 – LEAD GENERATION

It’s fair to say that Lead Generation is probably your easiest system to apply. However Lead Generation is by far the most expensive part of any business growth.

You should ALWAYS look to improve this process first

Here’s how:

1) CREATE and ACTIVATE a Lead Generation Tactic
2) Make sure you have a WORKING Enquiry Funnel
3) TEST, MEASURE and IMPROVE the Funnel
4) This will RESULT in MORE targeted enquiries

Million Dollar Multiplier 2 – SALES CONVERSION

Next, improving the Sales Conversion rate is achieved without ANY cost!

The key to IMPROVING the Sales Conversion rate is first to find out what the current sales conversion rate is and then apply this system:

1) DESIGN a working Sales Funnel
2) CREATE and ACTIVATe a Sales Conversion Tactic
3) Make sure you have a WORKING Sales Funnel
4) TEST, MEASURE and IMPROVE the Funnel
5) This will RESULT in MORE targeted customers

Million Dollar Multiplier 3 – CUSTOMER MAXIMISATION

Now, once a new customer is acquired it’s your duty to enrich their life by giving them more value. MORE services, MORE products, MORE benefits. This is known as ‘Back-End Selling’. And when this is carried out successfully you’ll release so much cash for your business, you’ll wonder what to do with it!

Here’s how:

1) CREATE and ACTIVATE a Customer Maximisation Tactic
2) Make sure you have a WORKING Customer Value Funnel
3) TEST, MEASURE and IMPROVE the Funnel
4) This will RESULT in MORE increased customer value

I just laid out for you my 3 ‘Million Dollar Multipliers’ that I use as part of my VIP day’s where business owners pay me $10,000 to spend the day with me and WALK AWAY with what I call the ‘MISSING MILLIONS BLUEPRINT’ – Apply it and watch your business EXPLODE otherwise contact my office directly on 858 206 3784 or sohail@sohail-khan.com to book in a VIP Day at my office or yours.

Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!

http://www.milliondollarpartnering.com/joint-venture-partnering-for-coaches-and-consultants/#commentsTue, 25 Apr 2017 17:08:57 +0000http://www.milliondollarpartnering.com/?p=560This week I had a conversation with a few coaches and consultants who asked, “Sohail, are joint ventures just for big businesses?” and I replied, “Joint ventures are just what they are called, a venture joining two or more companies with the same goal!”

You see, many solo entrepreneurs work from a home office. Their only connections to the outside world are the internet, e-mail and their telephone. Cold calling, “warm” calling and sending e-mails may seem like the most obvious way to let people know about them and to generate sales but, there’s another way that works even better.

An alliance is usually an agreement between two businesses whose services or products complement each other. Each agrees to recommend the other’s services to their respective clients and to pay a percentage to the other if the referral results in paying work.

Let’s say you’re a marketing expert, but you don’t do public relations. However, sometimes your clients require public relations as part of their marketing strategy. You meet with several public relations experts who specialize in different fields, but who don’t offer your type of marketing services, and you form 3 alliances. A 10% commission is what you agree on for mutual referrals that result in work. Now, both you and your alliance partners are more “full service” providers.

You can offer PR services to your clients and your partners can offer marketing services to theirs through you. In addition, you could add them as “partners” on your website, giving your company the advantage and versatility of an expert team. It’s a win–win situation.

A joint venture is formed when you not only have an alliance but you come up with a strategy to find customers together. Suppose you make custom window treatments. You decide to speak to a local fabric shop that specializes in upholstery and window fabric.

If you could be their exclusive referral for customers that need someone to make their fabric into beautiful draperies, and you are willing to pay them a commission for each referral, what happens? They can say they now offer a new value-added service to their customers, which may mean a customer chooses their store above another. You have a steady source of customers. You may even get them to display some of your draperies made with their fabric in your store.

They agree to allow you to advertise in their store, perhaps even offer a workshop, and you’ll recommend them exclusively to your clients. You may even advertise together. The possibilities are limitless.

There are numerous ways to put together alliances and joint ventures. Thinking outside the box and being clear about what benefits both parties would receive are essential. As always, getting the agreement in writing is a good idea, as is being sure the person you’re dealing with is honorable and reliable.

7 Day Joint Venture Action Plan

Day 1

Open a blank text document and go to your favourite search engine and type in keywords relating to the product or service you are promoting. Quickly visit sites that relate to your product or service and take down names and e-mail addresses of sites that look like profitable JV partners until you have 15. That’s it for today!

Day 2

Open your document and do the same thing today as yesterday except use a different search engine and different keywords to find 15 more potential JV partners. That’s it for today!

Day 3

Write up an excellent joint venture proposal to send out by e-mail. Use the quick fire template above that is very effective. Just add in the parts that ask for your information and you’re set! Get your JV proposal edited with all of your information and save it into a text document. That’s it for today!

Day 4

Today is pretty easy. Analyze your costs and offer the highest percentage you can to your potential JV prospects. I recommend 55%-70%, which sounds like a lot but these JV partners will be doing all the work so this is money you never would have seen and with no additional work for you.

Also offer a free copy of your product upon request. Don’t send it out with the initial proposal, make them raise their hand and say “Yes! I’m Interested!” Take the next few minutes to go over your letter and make it as appealing as possible to the potential JV partner. That’s it for today!

Day 5

Open your e-mail program and paste the JV proposal you have now perfected into the body. Insert a headline such as, “Paul—A Joint Venture Opportunity For Your Consideration” into the subject line. Always personalize the subject line and opening line such as “Dear Paul”.

This shows you didn’t just load everyone into a mass mailer and blast an ad out. Now open your Joint Venture prospect database and plug in the name and e-mail address of your fist prospect into the e-mail. Repeat the above procedure until you’ve sent to your database of 30 prospects. That’s it for today!

Day 6

Today you should start receiving requests for the free copy of the product you offered in your initial proposal. Send it to your prospect right away and thank them for their consideration of your offer. You may also get requests for links to promote your product today depending on the eagerness of your prospects to get started.

Day 7

Today just keep sending the product and affiliate links out as requested and you’ll have yourself a powerful sales-force promoting your product while you sit back and watch the orders come in!
